Summary

Hide ▲

Four malicious NuGet packages were uncovered that exfiltrate ASP.NET Identity data and create persistent backdoors, putting deployed ASP.NET applications at risk. The packages were published between August 12 and 21, 2024 and later removed after responsible disclosure. One package, NCryptYo, staged a localhost:7152 proxy to relay traffic to attacker-controlled infrastructure. The companion packages, DOMOAuth2_, IRAOAuth2.0, and SimpleWriter_, added theft, file-writing, and hidden execution capabilities.

    Malicious NuGet packages target ASP.NET Identity

    Initial Disclosure

    Four NuGet packages—NCryptYo, DOMOAuth2_, IRAOAuth2.0, and SimpleWriter_—were published between August 12 and 21, 2024 by hamzazaheer and later removed after responsible disclosure. The packages targeted ASP.NET web application developers by exfiltrating ASP.NET Identity data, including user accounts, role assignments, and permission mappings, while manipulating authorization rules to create persistent backdoors in victim applications; NCryptYo masqueraded as NCrypto and staged a localhost:7152 proxy to relay traffic to attacker-controlled C2, DOMOAuth2_ and IRAOAuth2.0 forwarded Identity data through that proxy, and SimpleWriter_ added unconditional file writing and hidden process execution.
